But the spirit of her Alma Mater is neuer giue up ; so she stepped brauely forth and recorded with strict accuracy the history of the session of 1909-10. Each near she has faithfully followed the custom which she established then. Though her style has suffered the changes of time, her spirit is as unflagging as euer. IDe, the Staff of ' 29, sincerely hope that this SCHOOLMA ' AM, like those of other years, will euer lead you back to the happy days spent here and flood your thoughts with pleasant memories. • rzr-z — : - ®i God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, And though the mountains be shaken into the heart of the seas ; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, Though the mountains tremble w ith the swelling thereof. Selah There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God. The holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High. God is in the midst of her ; she shall not be moved : God will help her, and that right early. The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved : He uttered his voice, the earth melted. The Lord of hosts is with us ; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah Come, behold the works of Jehovah, What desolation she hath made in the earth. He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth ; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder ; He burnetii the chariots in the fire. Be still, and know that I am God : T will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of hos ts is with us ; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah Founders ' Day Exercises, March 22, 1929 Father of Mercies, in this hour we pause to thank thee for the blessings of twenty years. All the ages are thine, and through thy goodness they are also ours ; but these years, O God, in a special way thou hast given to us here. In the lives of the men and women who stood here at the first opening of this school, these years measure long; but in the life of the institution the} - are, we trust, but a beginning of better and greater tilings. We pray thee that thou wilt make them so. We thank thee for the memories of these years. Some there are of pain, but most of joy; some there are of failure, but many of achievement. The brief winters of discontent have continually given way to glad springtimes of hope, to long summers of sturdy growth, to golden autumns of harvest and ripened fruits. Not all of our dreams have come true, but many things have come, better than we dreamed. We thank thee for the play and the happy laughter of these years. We thank thee even more for the hard tasks and for the hard work that has been necessary day by day to perform these tasks. We thank thee for the strength and the growth that have come witli earnest purpose and honest effort. We thank thee even for the failures that have been necessary now and then to teach us truth and wisdom. We thank thee for the ten thousand young lives that have here been kindled and consecrated. We thank thee for the light and the truth and the love and the courage that they have carrie d out and given to the world. We thank thee for these who now are here, and we pray thee that their growth may be even fuller and their gifts to others even richer and better. We thank thee that the scenes from our windows are still beautiful: that the mountains, though distant, still point upward ; that the sunsets are still glorious, and that sunrises are sure, and always full of promise. And we pray thee that the sun of truth and righteous- ness may shine daily in our souls. In Jesus ' name we pray, Amen!

ELLA ELIZABETH YATES LURAY Elementary Alpha Literary Society; Grammar Grade Club; V. W. C. A. ; Athletic Association. Hiftory of Class of 1929 T IS said, you know, that history repeats itself. As the memories of 1929 have unfolded before us, we have wished more than once that we could catch hold of all the moments of carefree, sincere happiness and hold on to them forever. But, we must realize, history continues, and each day writes a page in our lives, a page of joy perhaps, and sometimes, but quite seldom, fortunately, one of sorrow, or even a day of the mingled, misunderstood combination of joy tinged with a tiny bit of sorrow. Therefore, now at Commencement time, we realize that the history of 1929 is completed — not completed for us individually, for each of us hopes to do many bigger things in the future, as each day passes; but for 1929, as a class, our work on the campus of our Alma Mater is over. To us, the Senior Class of 1929, it does not seem four years ago that we, as Freshmen, enrolled at Harrisonburg. From various parts of the state, and other states, we came, forming a large group of over three hundred, a carefree, joyful group, entering upon a new adventure. To us, college life was a mere vision then ; now it is almost a memory ' . Freshman days were happy ones, as is always the case. We worked and play- ed, and everything meant so much to us. Our class presentation of Freshman Memoirs was the result of earnest Freshman work, and now we realize that it was truly a Freshman production. From our midst we selected the May Queen that year. Attending the wishes and commands of the upper classmen also played a large part in our Freshman life. Finally our first year had ended, and we had reached the mighty heights of a Sophomore existence. We were at the dividing line then. So many of our class had come for only two years. Others were trying to decide whether to re- turn for the other two years. The session went by quickly and we had many happy days. In June, 1927, many of our number graduated from the professional course and left us. In September, 1927, we returned as happy Juniors for a most joyful year. Junior days are so happy, it seems, without the worries of Sophomore and Senior days. We had about one hundred and ten Juniors, some new members who came to us after two years elsewhere. We really were happy Juniors and in June, 1928, had completed three of our milestones toward graduation. This year, our biggest and final year, has been a happy one. As Seniors, we have done the task well, we feel. We have finished all the little undertakings we started four years ago and have added to them the final touch of Seniordom. Our work here is completed, but it all now seems a beautiful happy memory of four of the most important years of life, and is our basis for the accomplishment of things hereafter, even more important, for the glory of the Class of 1929 and Alma Mater. 1929, we are through h ere. — Kathryn T.

Sophomore History REMEMBER, I remember — no, not the house where I was born. not that exactly, but the time when I began to grow. Can you remember that time too. Sopho- mores? Do you realize that you have only to go back to an occasion not quite two years ago ? Perhaps you don ' t agree with me. but I think you will when you consider all that has happened to change your thoughts, your attitudes, and your life itself since that night so many months ago when the lights of Blue- Stone Hill winked and blinked a welcome to you and me. and to some three hundred and fifty other eager, bewildered children. We weren ' t bewildered long, however. Goodness ! The words of wisdom in that little purple-and-gold book, plus a week of rigorous lec- ture courses and discussion periods, certainly did help to straighten us out ; and, once set on the narrow path, we didn ' t fail to take advantage of every opportunity, did we? Maybe we didn ' t win that Old Girl-Xew Girl basketball game, but lots of people thought we had. ' cause we made so much noise about it afterwards. And we kept on loving everybody just the same. It was a mighty happy, as well as pretty , bride who pledged her troth to an equally pleased-looking bridegroom on that bright sunny day in October when our hearts fairly bubbled over with the feel- ing that we might in all things claim H. T. C. as our own. I said we loved everybody — well, we did — but — but we ' ve got to admit we like to look back on the times when we beat the Sophomores in hockey and baseball. It ' s funny, isn ' t it. how we have always managed to shout over defeat and victory alike? I reckon we ' ve got a lot to be proud of anyway. We may have won first only in America ' s Own Game, but we were Johnny-on-the-spot with hockey and basketball and swimming too. And do you remember the Spanish dance we had for our Big Sisters — successful, despite the fact that we were really too young for such an undertaking? Speaking of being justly proud — just look at the people who helped us climb the ropes up the mountain-side that first year. There never were such class officers as ours, to say nothing of our Big Sister. Miss Marbut. our honorary member. Dr. Herod, and our mascot. Jack Herod. They were ever ready to help us. We shall be indebted to them always. Let me pause just a minute to tell you a story. Once upon a time in April it snowed — snowed all white and soft and beautiful — and with the snow stars and flowers there came a host of red-capped babies, sturdy, healthy babies, who didn ' t mind the snow one bit. The babies played among their teddy bears and dolls all day ; but when night-time came, the strangest thing happened — those tiny tots just grew up in no time and walked out of a Sketch Book in the most interesting manner. The tragic part about it is that they never grew little again. They hung their caps on their bed-room walls and, as the last thumb tack was pushed into place, a baby tear fell into the red folds and, for all I know, it nestles there still. But now we are Sophomores, and there are new officers and new people helping us just as efficiently as we near the top of our climb: Mr. Mcllwraith and little Kathleen Pickett — new, but just as dearly loved. 1 have rambled most outrageously about last year. I must sober down and try to be logical and consistent. It is a tremendous task I have set myself. Enthusiasm still runs high for those babies grown up who have been as ready as ever to play the game as each season came round. But they did grow up and came of an age to have a party and a dance, came of an age to wear green sport socks and berets, and to say to all their fellow students, What Does It Matter? Sophomores, as we go out into life, let us keep that saying deep down in our hearts, let us make it a part of our life philosophy, let us realize that, if work is done to the best of our ability, if play is still ready for defeat or victory, if love holds us to our noblest and truest ideals, if we can laugh at what may come, we shall go Forward ever, backward never, and may say to all the great wide world, What does it matter? — Anne Trott Sophomore Prophecy One evening not so long ago I felt a strange unrest, I craved a change from worldly things. When suddenly with zest I cast aside convention ' s toils, My spirit b roke its bound. Vnd sought some supernatural place, And this is what I found : An aged man beside a fire Whose weird, unearthly glare Impelled me, willing yet afraid, His magic power to share. Into the future ' s maze I looked And found these strange things done By all those girls I used to know- In the class of ' 31. First Queenie passed before my eyes — Just breaking cows out West, And with her Killinger, Gore, and Hines, For such life suits them best. Next Delphine Hurst, our president, Has Venus beat a mile. In Hollywood she ' s made her name, Just by her winning smile. There ' s Fagan, Cox, and Titus too, Who own a training camp To make stout ladies thin again ' Tis of the stylish stamp. And little Nellie Cowan too Has piled up lots of fame; She ' s operating Taxi Cabs Of Peter Rabbit name. Chew, Copenhaver, Bro wn, and Dice And Mills are seen to be With Lester, Powell, Budd— odds life! In chateaux by the sea. Remember Chick, H. V. and Pat? With Haskins and Le Grande They ' re preaching with a fervent zeal To this wicked, worldy land. Virginia Hearring ' s shooting crap; She ' s taken cups galore ; She ' s played with Firebaugh, Huff, ant King, And put them through the floor. The next brought to my lips a laugh, For what should there appear But Toots and Biz in flying togs, With Jitney in the rear! Oh, Evelyn Wilson ' s too divine As life-guard on the beach; Each timid little mother ' s pride Just thinks she ' s quite a peach. In darkest Africa I gazed, And saw, as in a dream, A tiger hunt led forth by Bane While thrills ran on supreme. Behind the tiger ' s stealthy path Tracked Blalock, Watt, and Spain ; While safe astride an elephant Rode Rubush, Rust, and Payne. Flops Kelsey does the tight-rope walk In a three-ring-circus show, And Bradford ' s telling how it ' s done — The public loves them so ! But on the side you should have seen Nan Trott, Duvall and Oakes, Who (please don ' t act surprised) were clowns, And grand at swapping jokes. And Saunders is a great track star — That ' s true ; so listen then, And you ' ll discover, as I did, Aldhizer turned to men ! Buchanan, Garber, and McGhee Are artists of renown. Where Winston acts with Walker, there They take by storm each town. Ben Turpin, Jarrelle, Humphries, all Are good, too, by the way ; With Beiser, Blanton, and Reynolds. They fiddle for their pay. Pulley, Shack and Margaret Moon For artists pose each night; While Hinkel. Everette, and Rodes Dance ' neath the spot-lights bright Miss Fainter and Miss M. Simmons In Europe ' s courts do sing ; Wilkinson. Myers, and Timberlake Attempt the selfsame thing. Remember Stephens, Peake, and Kerr? They ' re married fast and true ; And Fan and Nan are gypsies gay, Their roof ' s the sky ' s bright blue. Virginia Gilliam ' s married too — Not one but four or five — Divorce to Mathews is a joke: They ' re the wildest vamps alive. A group of Politicians passed Before my wandering sight — Among them Baker, Holter, Glass, Porter, Bayto, and Knight. And at another meeting then Some famous chefs I saw, Mitchell, Lowman, Barrett, Levi Forester, and Albaugh. Mecartney, Menin, Finkelstein, And Blankenbaker, Gill, Before Judge Smith for speeding stood — And they had to pay their bill. But Borum and Frances Steger, both, With Marshall and McCabe, Cram life upon a Dude Ranch — The K-Bar-B ' tis said. Ruth Archibald has turned to drugs, And Ellis turned to dope, As druggist and as soda slinger — They ' re really good (I hope). Ingle, Austin, Armentrout And Willaims, it is said, Refused each husband word of mouth, And hit him on his head. Then Anderson and Odom, too, With Douthat, Bones, and Shipp Have opened up a dancing school : Try ' Jazz Gum ' is their tip. The next I saw was E. Bishop With Rudy by her side Expostulating from a box On subjects far and wide. Tanquary, Collins, Pusey, Plank Just circle round the globe, An idler ' s life has been their choice ; For them no stiff-neck robe Marie Burnette, I saw aboard A natty yacht, afloat The briny deep with Ralston on As skipper of the boat. An airship poised with Revercomb And Duling set to fly And seated in the cock-pit Bird, Simmons, Mantiply. Dot Wheeler on the golf course Was the next to bring my smiles No amateurs for her — oh, no ! She covers many miles ; She teaches Dixon, Barnes, and Heath, But also on the side She coaches Cleveland, Stark, and Root, And every stroke she ' ll guide. I saw a large, imposing Shoppe And thought it rather fine, For on the door was printed, large Coleman ' s Christian Beverage Wine ! And as for Hagan, Bean, and Schwarz, McCormick, Karnes, and Hight, They dance away as chorus girls The hours of the night! Yet suddenly the fire died out— My visions passed away. I only saw two gleaming eyes And heard his shrill voice say, O wandering mortal, go thou home ; I ' ve shown you what you sought — A prophecy of every girl In future scenes I ' ve wrought! But prophet, what of me? I wailed, What does my future bring? You ' ve left me out from all the rest ; Shall I not be a thing? Yes, mortal, you will laugh and love, And in the end you ' ll be And suddenly his droning oice Just drifted far from me. My spirit hastened home again And dropped me by my door, To write down all the things my Seer Had given me from his store Of visions, but this foresight is A doubtful thing indeed ; So just take this talc For what it ' s worth, and read It when your castles all have crashed, And, dreams gone wrong. But prophecies are silly things ; So do not grieve too long. — Dorothy Frky.

X. S. Coming to a quick decision as to the advisability of founding such societies. Miss Cleveland and Dr. YYayland next sought to find what they should be called. After a great deal of earnest thought, the names Lee and Lanier were chosen. Such a name as Lee, standing as it does an embodiment of patriotism, love, and learning, could not fail to stimulate those adopting it with a desire to look for only that which is beautiful and good. Of those who have been granted the privilege of bearing the name of that patriot, soldier, statesman, and scholar may it ever be said. They did the best work possible to shed more glory on that already glorified name. We ' ll wave our gray and gold. And in the truth be free; For each loyal heart is burning Well to bear the name of L: May the author of those words, those nineteen other charter members who toiled over the constitution, and all who have loved and worked that the organization might be success- ful know that, wherever they may be. their younger sisters are remaining true to the ideals which, born of enthusiasm and a great love, shall ever point the way to greater and more glorious things.

Its members still st rive to uphold and promote the ideals with which it began. It has gone forward from the charter date, October S. 1909, until the present time in a smooth and pur- poseful manner. A review of its origin seems fitting after twenty years. In Tune. 1909. looking to the opening of the new normal school in the fall, a committee composed of Dr. Wayland and Miss Cleveland met at the University of Virginia to discuss names and standards for the two literary societies to be. After a prompt decision to call one of these the Lee, they sought some other whose very name would make each Southern heart beat high — a name that would inspire. That of Sidney Lanier supplied all of this: a soldier of whom his fellow-prisoners declared that he r uttered a word which an angel might not stoop to listen to ; a poet whose li f e was a song and whose poetry came pulsing from the springs of life itself; a musician who caught the very notes of bird and running stream ; a Christian who strove to be flawless, even as was his Master. Besfdes. Lanier had loved this part of the country — the forests and the friends that he found at Rockingham Springs. It was here that he wrote — on a little table, now carefully preserved in Maury Hall — his famous work, Tk :e of English Verse. We wonder whether the inspiration for The Ballad of Trees and the Master was not caught from the dcep woods around him on Massanutten, where The iittle gl ■ :hey were kind to him in those last summers when he came hither clean forspent, forspent. Lanier Literary Society MOTTO His song was only living aloud, His work a singing with his hand. HONORARY MEMBER Miss Elizabeth P.

The season began by winning from Bridgewater College, and ended by defeating Fredericksburg Teachers College. The doubling and sometimes trebling of the score on the part of the Harrison- burg team is characteristic of every game but one, and the score of that one game lacked only one point of making it double that of opponents.

The King ' s Dancers ! Sharp, sibilant intake of breath, and from behind the fountain, palm- fringed, floats a lilting tune — a lovely, gay tune that dances and pirouettes and flutters and returns in capricious laughter — a cycle of melody. Five dancers — five bisque dolls — smiling, pretty, painted, immovable faces. Stiff awkward movements in precise time rhythm — Motion start- ling in its perfect unity, a steady fascinating stream of jerky arm and leg movements. Doll dancers for the King. Empty-headed, light-hearted dolls to charm away the weight of a heavy coronet. Juanita — underneath the waxen, blue-shaded lids, her eyes dart over the crowd, seeking — seeking — Is that the French ambassador talking to the Compte de Laine? Yes, that means another continental railroad merger — another bit of news for a weekly report to headquarters. But nothing very important. Stiff movements again. Wait — the Italian attache in the corner with Leone, mistress of the ruler of Triana — What news! What glorious news! Juanita, queen of spies, plans a cable in code. . . . Doll dancer to the King ! Francine, bewildered — the watery, weak eyes of the old man are leering at her yet — the sound of his cracked, dry voice — the flies on the window- pane over his head — his offer. Ease, luxuries, beauty — all for such a small thing, he had said. A small thing? Through the dance comes to her over the other music the song of a violin, tender, caressing, persuasive, from a lover to his beloved, the message for her. Love and life with him — drudgery, pain, squalor. Francine cannot cry; mascara runs on one ' s cheeks. She shrugs her shoulders imperceptibly, lifts her chin, and chooses. Francine walks into her life, knowingly, smiling. Doll dancer to the King ! Marie, calculating — twenty-five francs for this dance, and such an advertisment ! She sees a tiny cottage in Brittany. There can her little flower-like sister go — travel as a lady should travel — to run on the sands and leap, shouting, into the bitter salt water. Little white hands, transparently blue, will grow tough and hardened, but healthy, strong, all because of ten minutes ' dance before the King. Twenty-five francs — and the rattle of coins in the yel- low tea-pot. Marie, anxious to be finished, misses a step. What matter? Oh, the light in tin- eyes of a little sister. Doll dancer to the King ! Camille, another Camille, musing — at last to dance before the royal court ! Her thoughts go back to a crowded kitchen, with a family of seemingly endless brothers and sisters, to days of w : atching cows, and then the American — rich, fat — he had been the first. Men she- had loved, men whose touch was loathsome. Men who gave money and jewels — always men who gave — who took. Always the one goal — Dancer to the King. The goal — yes, but the thrill is not there. A sigh, the dance will soon be over, and then more nights of ugly, lonely memories. Camille is old — but Camille is dancer to the King. Doll dancer to the King ! Anne, joyous Anne — gay, vivacious, loving life for the happiness of giving one ' s all, one ' s self — longing to dance in abandon, to show these smug nobles and their ladies the beauty, the thrill of life, the sheer glory of it. Dancing with four other dolls in perfect time, perfect rhythm, Anne, longing to dance wildly and to break every mocking, taunting note in the mechanical melody into a whirlpool of ecstatic, rejoicing echoes! Doll dancer to the King ! The music changes — dolls file out — applause : Such control. So like dolls ! — The mur- mur of conversation rises slowly, then suddenly, to a peak. Silvery sounds of trumpets, for there are more entertainers for the King — with no soul but to amuse, to please the court. The distracting noise dies away. All — Doll dancers to the King! — Frances Snyder Sunny Hours SEPTEMBER 2A — Having deposited toothbrush in pocket, overshoes on feet, and having taken umbrella in hand, we departed for this institution of learning. 26 — Classes again!

Duke Memories of the First Decade Julian A. Burruss X THE beginning, God created this beautiful Shenandoah Valley, and that is the reason this institution is located here. The unusually abundant natural riches of this section, together with the fine type of people living here, make it an ideal location for an educational institution. Many had a part in securing the new normal school for Harrisonburg, and I cannot attempt to mention all of them; but I think I may call the names of three men who have passed on to their great reward — Dr. T. O. Jones, Dr. J. H. Xeff, and Mr. A. H. Snyder. Personally I owe much to the inspiration which came to me through association with Mr. Snyder, who shared his office with me the first year I was here. It being recognized that the one normal school then existing in Virginia could not pro- duce enough trained teachers to meet the annual demand of our state system, the General Assembly of 1906 appointed a committee to study the situation and to consider prospective sites for an additional school. The County of Rockingham and the Town of Harrisonburg offered $15,000 and certain concessions; and on March 14, 190S, the Legislature passed an act establishing the State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg, at the same time providing $50,000 for it. This was largely due to the untiring efforts and strong influence of Senator George B. Keezell, who may be considered the father of the institution. The first bo ard of trustees was an extraordinarily able board, and at its first meeting, on April 29, 1908, a broad policy was adopted. On June 18, 1908, the Newman farm of forty-two acres was purchased, and shortly thereafter the Lurty property of six acres was added. On June 26, 190S, I was selected as the first president of the school, and I left my work at Columbia and reached Harrisonburg on July 9. It was my first visit here, and I was agreeably surprised and charmed with everything and everybody I saw. I very soon thereafter started on a trip to a number of states to look over buildings and confer with heads of various institutions as to organization, suitable members of the faculty, and other matters connected with the inauguration of the work. An outline of the needs of an institution to eventually accommodate 1,000 students — this outline covering twenty-two pages of typewritten matter — was submitted to the board, and the general lay-out was adopted on September 15, 1908. The architect who had been selected by the board upon my recommendation presented a beautiful plan for the complete plant. This plan by Mr. Charles M. Robinson has received much favorable comment, and it has been followed quite closely in the development of the campus. Plans for the first tw ' o buildings were adopted on October 7. 1908, and on November 5 the contract for them was let to W. M. Bucher and Son, of Harrisonburg. Ground was broken for the Maury Science Hall and for what is now called Jackson dormitory, on No- vember 2 with ten months available for completion. In February, 1909, a prospectus was published, consisting of 112 printed pages. This was very similar to a college catalog. It had the recently designed seal on the cover, and distributed through the text were illustrations of the proposed buildings, also a map of the state showing the railroads leading to Harrisonburg. At the back of the book was a page of advice to prospective students, among other things emphasizing the necessity of bringing. an umbrella and overshoes. On April 15, 1909, a long line of carriages and several hundred men on foot, headed by the brass band of Harrisonburg, marched impressively across the field to the site of the Science Hall, where the cornerstone was duly laid. The selection of a faculty w ; as perhaps the most difficult and certainly the most important item in the program of preparation for the opening. There were thirteen members in the first group. They were chosen largely because of personality, although training and experi- ence were, of course, considered. The board elected them on April 14, 1909. Thirteen has been my lucky number, but never was it so lucky as on that occasion. What a group that was! I have never known a faculty to work so hard, so loyally, and so devotedly to high ideals The progress of the buildings gave U much anxiety. We had set a certain date to open the first session, and we were determined to open on that date. Then, too, equipment had to lie selected, help had to be employed, and a thousand and one things had to be cared for in a very short period of time. Many obstacles were overcome, and when on September 28, 1909, the eventful opening date came, we were ready — or almost! I shall never forget the first faculty meeting. There was a spirit of consecration to a noble work prevalent throughout. Vividly in my mind today is the arrival of the first student. We had accommodations in the one dormitory and in the cottage for sixty-four students, and our opening enrolment was 150 students; so the problem of finding rooms for all was a perplexing one in those days. The town had not built up around the campus as it has now, and there were few rooms in private homes available. What a splendid lot of young women they were! Perhaps somewhat more mature than the average college student now, yet their preparation was no doubt considerably less than the present average. From the beginning they had impressed upon them the fact that what- ever the)- did that first year would be establishing ideals, starting traditions, for all future time; and unquestionably they felt deeply this responsibility. Their personal relationships with the faculty were most happy, and the result was as fine a spirit of helpful co-operation as I have ever witnessed. It is not possible for me to do otherwise than speak feelingly of our girls of that first year, and indeed of all of the early years. Time tends to idealize. We thought much of them then; we think even more of them now. They seem to me as flowers in a beautiful garden — the garden of memory — one of the most precious of God ' s many precious gifts to me. During the first year wc formed many organizations and engaged in numerous activities very much as you do now. There was the Student Government Association, administering the honor system, the two literary societies, the Y. W. C. A., the Athletic Association, the various class organizations, the ( dec Club, the Schooi.ma ' am, and so on. There were recep- tions and house-warmings, band concerts and Hallowe ' en, plays and literary society programs. Then came Christmas. I had expressed one morning at chapel the hope that I should have the gift of a school song. Dr. Wayland was the Santa Claus, and he brought not only one but two delightful songs, which we still love to sing. That winter the Legislature gave us another dormitory — Ashby. This was begun with appropriate ceremonies on May 2, 1910. Spring brought a considerable number of new girls, and we finished the first year with a total enrolment of 209, a big number in those days. We even had a Commencement that first year — with no graduates. Governor Mann came to address us, and the president solemnly announced that we were bringing to a close the best year in the history of the institution — a statement which has been repeated many times since, but never with more truth. Summer school followed with an enrolment of 207 students — and we ran two summer terms, something of a radical innovation then! The second year started with a plant valued at $90,000 and a new dormitory well under construction. We were proud of our little library of 1,300 carefully selected books — the first one accessioned being a copy of The Unix Bible, presented by the President oi Hollins Institute. During that session we bad all of the activities of the first year, and more. The t o- hurns brought an ecstatic joy to the old apple orchard. We even had an athletic field .day, and the daily paper came out the next morning with big black headlines: GIRLS JUMP SIX FEET HIGH. Then came our first Commencement — with graduates, thirteen of them, I believe. I recall that there was a great discussion in the faculty as to the length of the skirts, and finally I think it was decided that the Matron should carefully measure every one to see that none was more than some five inches from the floor. The following year the Commencement was distinguished bv the first home-coming of the alumna?. There was great interest in this approaching event, and when at last the first old surry came rambling up to the dormitory bringing our girls back home, a great shout went up, and little black Willie ran to Mrs. Brooke in great excitement exclaiming, The aluminum has came! Well, the first assembling of the aluminum brought very gratify- ing results, for an organization was formed and a senior aid fund was established, together with many other important acts. So we went on, toiling, rejoicing, sorrowing, for we had our tips and downs. One winter there was no electric current for the whole month of February — oil lamps burned in the dormitories and torches on the streets. Another winter the heating plant collapsed. There w-ere a few fire scares and the creation of some local heroes. There was the wonder- ful violin of Jules Falk and the delights of other entertainers. There were my most helpful discourses at chapel on chewing-gum and low shoes — which all my sweet hearers promptly forgot! There were measles and mumps, tonsilitis and vaccination, boxes from home and dormitory mice, stewed tomatoes and lesson plans ! And what a poem might be written about the old assembly-hall in the end of the upper floor of the science building! There the first Scripture lesson was read and the first prayer offered, there were the first gymnastic exercises and music lessons, there were lectures serious and entertainments gay. On the walls of my study at home are four pictures that I prize most highly. One is of Hillcrest, the beautiful home back there, and one is of the view to the East and old Massa- nutten. Another is of the faculty in academic procession, my colleagues whom I esteemed so highly and whose faithful and efficient service made possible whatever was accomplished. The fourth is of the Shakesperean pageant of 1910, which was the Shakespere year, you will recall. That year also brought to us the saddest event that had formed a part of our his- tory, for then left us that gentle spirit who had been the comfort and help of so many. Cleveland Cottage was named in her memory. The war period with all its unusual conditions affected the school, of course, and every ciih tried to help in every possible way. Then were shortages of certain kinds of food and of fuel; there was Red Cross and other relict work to do. Then came the influenza epidemic, which wrought havoc everywhere. Yet somehow m survived it all, and came to the end ol our first decade with a record of which 1 think we had a right to he proud. In the ten years there were capital outlays of $300,000, so that, beginning in 1909 with nothing, 1919 found a plant of no mean proportions, consisting of eight buildings and two small structures, with their equipment, on a campus which was beginning to show beauty and future promise. During the ten years the support funds had increased from $15,000 to $50,000, and the total budget from $26,500 to $137,857. Our library had increased from 1,300 to 6,500 volumes. The number of courses offered had doubled, the number in the faculty had about doubled, and the entrance requirements had been raised from completion of the seventh grade to a minimum of eleven high school units, or sixteen high school units for the professional courses. Only one year of high school work was given, instead of four years, which were given when the school started. Three curricula had been established leading to the 1 ' .. S. degree after four years of college grade work. Boarding accommodations in the dormitories had increased from 04 to 240, although the latter meant some crowding. The number of students enrolled in the regular session had reached 318, ami in the summer ses- sion a maximum of 1053; while the graduating class had grown from 13 to 107, the latter in- cluding ten for the B. S. degree. In the ten years approximately 4,500 different persons had been taught, and 542 had been graduated in professional curricula. Scholarships, loan funds, and prizes in considerable number, amounting to a total of more than $6,000 in value, as well as various gifts, had been provided by friends of the institution. In the case of very old institutions we frequently hear about priorities. This college, while one of the younger institutions, may also boast certain priorities — at least six, 1 think. First, the use of the public schools, both urban and rural, for observation and practice- teaching purposes. This innovation attracted wide attention then, although now the arrange- ment is quite common. Our success was largely due to the interest and tact of Superinten- dent Keister and the late Professor Johnston, who was then principal of the high school. Second, the operation of a four-quarter year, including a full summer quarter. There were many objections to this at first, but it has now become generally recognized and adopted throughout the country. Third, the policy as to entrance requirements. We began at the end of the first year to raise our requirements gradually each year to fit on to the elementary and secondary school system of the state, and led the way for other normal schools, which had not dared do this. Fourth, the emphasis on industrial education. From the beginning we had departments of household arts, manual arts, and rural arts. It was difficult to get students in these courses at first, and recognition of their value was slow, but a remarkable success has been attained, particularly in household arts. Fifth, the emphasis on rural life problems and the preparation of rural school teachers. We had the first, or certainly one of the first, rural school supervisors to be found anywhere in the country; and our one-room rural practise school was unique. Sixth, the extension activities. We attempted for Virginia the first systematic extension service in our spring and summer quarters, in correspondence courses, and in visiting and speaking in schools. My last act as president of this institution was to prepare at the direction of the Gov- ernor a six-year budget, 1920-26. I do not know to what extent this budget was followed, but 1 trust it was far exceeded. Certainly my fondest expectations have been exceeded in the splendid development which has taken place on the campus. 1 have been deeply gratified that the original plan for the buildings has been so closely followed, and that the grounds have been so successfully improved. I have rejoiced in the growth in faculty and student enrolment. Above all, I have derived intense satisfaction because of the raised standards oi the institution. You are now the H. T. C. rather than the H. N. S. of old, but I feel sure that the same fine spirit animates the life on Bluestone Hill. In the old days our work was founded on faith, it was inspired by hope, it was a service of love, and it led to success. In the early years there was much of prayer, and our faith that our prayers would be answered enabled its to bear the hardships of the moment. With profound gratitude for the blessings and successes of the past, our prayers and hopes now are for much greater achievements in tin future. Oh, I could tell you lots o ' things About dis dear old place Dat ' d make you long, an ' 10115, an ' long Ter be here, jes ' bekase We s all like one big family here: An ' when I has ter go, As long ' s I live I ' ll keep a-thinkin ' ' limit dese here folks, I know. Growth in the Last Decade Samuel P. Duke N PICTURING the growth and development of the State Teachers Col- lege at Harrisonburg during the last ten years, it is necessary to mention several contributing factors that have figured largely in this unusually rapid transformation. In the first place, the college, during this period, has profited very definitely by the splendid reputation it had established, under the adminis- tration of President Burruss, for sound scholarship, thorough and modern professional training, and the development of young women of fine char- acter and professional attitudes. Another factor influencing this development has been the universal interest during the last ten years in higher education, an interest that has sent to colleges the greatest number of students at any period of history- These students have come without any great effort on the part of the college to attract them, and their presence at the college has necessitated a rapid growth in the college staff and physical equipment. The success of a State Teachers College can be measured only by the extent to which it has sent out into the schools of the Commonwealth teachers with the right training and the right ideals. There are. however, several more concrete standards by which teacher-training progress can be measured. I shall attempt to apply some of these. First, the enrollment of students at the college in 1919 was 306. with a few students still doing high school work and a much larger number lacking several units of high school graduation. In 1929 the total enrollment is S7S students, all doing regular college work. In 1919, were graduated 97 students from two-year courses and 10 from four-year courses. In 1929 approximately 150 will receive two-year diplomas and 100 will receive the Bachelor of Science degree. The Standard of Admission to the college in 1929 is full graduation from an accredited high school, while in 1919 students were admitted with three years of high school work The most significant accomplishment of the college in the last ten years, in my opinion, was the passage of a bill by the General Assembly of Virginia in 1924 changing the name of the institution from that of the State Xormal School for Women to that of The State Teach- ers College. The President of this College, on five different occasions, over a period of sev- eral years, had petitioned the Board of Control to endeavor to secure the passage of such legislation. The final success of these efforts brought many benefits to the college. In the popular mind the institution left the indefinite position somewhere between a high school and a college and became definitely a college. The Board of Control abandoned its scheme of differentiation of curricula and set up standard four-year curricula alike in all four Teachers Colleges. These curricula became the standard, instead of the two-year courses as in pre i- ous years. New standards of preparation for members of the faculty immediately became effective. The entire program of work in the college was revised and elevated to a real college level, and an entirely new feeling of worth, character, and importance attached itself to the work of the institution in the minds of its students. The standing of the college to many people, however, was never secure until the Associa- tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States, at its meeting in Jacksonville. Florida, in 1927, admitted the college to full membership. This assured for the college the highest rating in the South, and it was immediately followed by a Class A recognition of the American Association of Teachers Colleges, an organization of national scope. Student activities during the last ten years of the college have shown also striking changes. Inter-collegiate contests in basketball, hockey, tennis, debating, and oratory have found places on students ' programs. Kappa Delta Pi (scholarship society). The .Eolian (Music) Club, the Debating Society, and other professional clubs have come into being to add pleasure and prestige to the session ' s work of the college. The college publications, too. assumed a new garb. The quarterly bulletin previously published by the college became The Virginia Teacher, a monthly magazine, and there appeared in addition to it an excellent student weekly newspaper The Breeze, both of which have maintained high standards of excellence. The leisure time of students has not been overlooked in the rapid growth of the college, but much attention has been given to providing them with opportunities to employ their leisure time in a sane and a wholesome fashion. A new physical education building, contain- ing a large gymnasium and a beautiful swimming pool, has been built, a campus golf course has been constructed, a student-activities building (Alumna? Hall) has been erected, and the college, at the writing of this article, is formulating plans for the building of a camp on the Shenandoah River for week-end and study trips of its students. A few definite statistics may enable one to visualize still more fully the growth of the college during the last ten years.

I believe that despite the rapid growth of the college, one may still find here that fine spirit of personal loyalty, of friendliness and unselfish devotion to truth, honor, and service that has always characterized the student body at Harrisonburg. In mentioning the progress of the institution during the last decade, I hope no one will gain the impression that the President of the College is alone responsible for it. It has been, on the contrary, the result of the splendid effort, co-operation and keen personal interest of all the employees, from the humblest workman to the Dean of the College. They take great pride in these achievements, and are largely responsible for them. Owned privately and leased to the college. Estimated cost. One ' s World is R ouni HE pretty girl in the blue roadster had her small mouth set in a small straight line. The pretty girl was thinking many things, her thoughts — r, at least, the manner of them — being reflected in the- shining little blue roadster as it leaped and flew along the broad white highway. Downward and farther down pressed a small blonde-shod Foot, until the little blue roadster seemed more low -slung than ever. Seeing the streak of blue low-slungness fairly racing, one would not have seen the small straight line of the mouth and the eyebrow of its driver. But as the car with an angry grind of brakes jerked to a screaming stop, it was to he seen by almost any- one that the young lady was exceedingly furious. Even eyes of a violet shade were almost as black as her lashes; hair that was curly had been pushed hack disdainfully, and cheeks that had been pink were red with thought, all-absorbing. Sally Post was angry. Even as she started the car again, after giving an offending rapidly-becoming-flat tire a small kick, her thoughts raced on, racing until her head ached. Why must the world be like this? she thought. Life for Sally had been a mad, mad plunge — always an urging onward to social activities, always an obligation to her people. She was the only child of a mother and father who were wonderful, Sally thought, but something had all her life been absurdly wrong. Maybe she would like to have been a child a little longer; still, one had to grow 11)1! But now, when Jack had wanted to marry her — Jack, who was John Frothingham, III — and when there was Archie Rhinehart in the background — where there were laces and faces — when her mother and father — oh, why were things like this? It wasn ' t fair. For peace such as Sally had read of she had wished for — but was it . . . ? and now Sally ' s mother had found a doctor to study her case and make Sally well again. And a young doctor at that ' It would be — thought Sally. Someone attractive and so desirable — oh ! went Sally ' s thoughts. Ahead was a cart, Sally thought — coming so close. She must turn to the right, yes, to the right. All of a sudden — why, what was the matter? A crash — blackness. And the little blue roadster turned and twisted and settled in a deep ditch. A small girl, with a small mouth curling from a straight line to a sweetness all its own, seemed to sleep. ( Inly the small girl was crumpled in a heap. Out of the blackness came dreams and dreams, in which Sally saw Archie and Jack and men, men, men. Sally saw so many things that were hard for her to understand. Life, thought Sally, was such an effort. One could give up and be so quiet and happy. Sally thought she would. Sally almost did. Bui suddenly there was light, and color, and someone persuading Sally to come back and find life — life that had almost lost her. Sally stopped, considered, and came back — to find that life was a lovely little blue room, with a glowing lire, and a grey kitten curled on a round, round rug; to find that life had a bowl of yellow roses, and that it hail brought a little lady who smiled at her. The little lady had a crinkly smile, one that stayed smiling at Sally. .And Sally smiled back — almost, and held out her hand — almost. But Sally found that trying to hold her hand out hurt. Almost any move hurt, and Sally wondered why. in such a blue heaven, with a small grey kitten curled on a round, round rug. Why? asked Sail). Because, answered the little old lady. Because, smiled the crinkly smile. Because, crackled the bright fire. Am 1 to stay a while? pursued Sally. Forever and ever so long, said the little old lady. You see, my. dear, you are tired, and you are to rest. But before you go to sleep for a small while, you may meet my family. That is Fluff, indicating the grey bundle on the round, round rug; and this is David, wax- ing to a little wizened man bringing in some little sticks of wood, who makes life easy for us. I am Caroline Heath, and have lived in this small house, for many, many years. And now do you know it ' s spring? Such wonderful, lovely weather to rest. But how long? queried Sally. My dear little Sally, your little blue roadster brought you a mile from here, and we are responsible for the rest of the journey. A week ago you came to us. And now, will you sleep like a good child? You may have milk and fresh fruit at the end of your nap — and Fluff to purr a fine song for you. Then Sally rested, and found life as she had read it. There was happiness — no flurry and hurry — until — One day. There was a garden wall, and a quaint Japanese cherry tree. Under it sat Fluff — and Sally. Sally had been allowed to go out that morning to find another world of blossom, and shade, and rest. Fluff on a round, round grassy mat was her protectress — from what, Sally didn ' t know. Couldn ' t guess! for life was so sweet here — faces of the past were forgotten — almost. Sally had thought that she must let her father and mother know. But the good old doc- tor had seen to that. They know all about it and they wouldn ' t mind if Sally stayed here awhile. Sally musn ' t worry. She was tired, and he was going to keep her quiet. They are coming when you are well enough, child. She had told Miss Caroline that things had always been in a hurry for her, and Miss Caroline had said she understood. Miss Caroline had said that with Sally ' s several broken bones, nothing else was necessary fur a while but just to watch them mend. And Miss Caroline said she had consulted an authority cm life — her next-door neighbor, and he had said so too. And so Sally sat protected by the pink, pink cherry tree, the kind garden wall, and Flu tt on a round, round mat. However the world, fortunately and unfortunately, is not all made of pinkness of cherry trees, kindness of garden walls, and Fluffs on round, round mats. A book dropped on Sally ' s head. Down from the wall, following the book, came a man — a young man — and a good-looking young man — a young man who looked at Sally and almost, hut not quite, forgot the book. Not quite — Sorry ! Forgive the book, I pray, but since it has committed an offense, it pleads guilty of objective, Your Honor. And may it please Your Honor to take long to consider the case, l- ' .ven Lemonade as refreshment from a pleading victim shouldn ' t be overlooked, begged the good-looking-man-who-had-dropped-over-the-wall, as he proffered an ice-posted pitcher which he took down from its high perch. Sally wondered. Where had he come from — this boyish man, with grey eyes that laughed and were serious all in a moment, with black hair curling as the breeze swept it — this man with the lean bronzed face, with the jaw that expressed determination and strength ? Sally knew men, but who was this? As if in answer, he said, I ' m your next-door neighbor. I ' m living here, and really liv- ing for the first time. I ' ve just found out what life is — with blueness of sky and greeness of grass — and well — a great many things! Sally looked at him. This, then, was the next-door neighbor who Miss Caroline had said was the-authority-on-life, and whose name, by the way, was John Pendleton. And they talked, these two, till the round, round mat and Fluff faded into a round blur, and the cherry blossoms became lavender, or blue — did it matter? — and the sun left behind it a glory of rose as a memory. Time went on, and with it Miss Caroline told Sally — who had become almost a part of Miss Caroline ' s life, almost a part of Fluff ' s little existence on her round, round rug, almost a part A even David ' s life, and a part, perhaps two or three parts, of John Pendle- ton ' s life, as he spent it between his home and Miss Caroline ' s, or wherever Sally happened to be — Miss Caroline told Sally that she guessed she ' d better see her father and mother. Yes, sighed Sally. No, thuught John, knowing it would mean losing her, the Sally who had come to mean to him that deepest thing in life — love. John was thinking, too, that her leaving would be only a reminder to him that he must go back to his work in the city, where doctors must make a living. He didn ' t care to remember his sudden decision to leave the hurry and scurry of it for a rendezvous with a natural world, for he had left behind patients who meant the building up of his career. For instance, there had been a wealthy family who were coming to bring a patient in the form of a nerve-wrought daughter. They had made their appointment for the very day on which John Pendleton had decided to run away. Oh, why worry — when all that was anything, it seemed to him, was here? The next day Mr. and Mrs. James Fitz-Morgan Post came — rather, swooped down in a huge, shiny, limousine behind an impenetrable chauffeur. The Fitz-Morgan Posts, with John Frothingham III, who still wanted to marry Sally, had arrived. And a little behind Jack, who was John Frothingham III, came Archie of the background. They saw Sally, sitting protected by the cherry tree and Fluff on her round, round mat, and then they saw John Pendleton. The Fitz-Morgan Posts kissed their Sail}- and looked at a new Sally. Sally who had rose in her cheeks and sparkle in her eyes. And then they shook hands with John Pendleton before Sally could introduce him. Because, you see John Pendleton was the young doctor whom the Fitz-Morgan Posts had lost an appointment with the day he had run away. Besides, Miss Caroline had not forgotten John in her daily re- ports of Sally ' s welfare. Fitz-Morgan Post saw that that good-looking young doctor had done for Sally what he wished — and what his wife wished. That young doctor had brought Sally Post happiness and health. But, Sally, tearfully inquired Miss Caroline, When will you come back to us — to Fluff, and David, and me? We don ' t want another roadster, with someone else. Sally — Sally of my dreams ! sang the little victrola. Sally — Sally ! sang John ' s heart. Sally smiled at Archie and Jack — who was John Frothingham III — a small, sweet smile that said, But I love John. And the two understood, as did Fluff purring on a round, round rug, and the whole world in its round, round cycle of happiness. — Phyllis Palmer. - - wwjrXt Junior Day 7:12 a.m. What Price Criminality? HEAVY silence settled over the court room as Judge Thompson, with a grave face, read the prisoner ' s sentence. As the first words fell from his lips, John Thorne sank heavily into a chair, his whole body bent in submission. Has the prisoner anything he wishes to say? continued the Judge. Like one dazed by a great shock, John Thorn slowly got on his feet. The long strain had begun to tell on him. His usually pleasant face was drawn with pain as he stepped to the rail. With one hand he steadied himself ; the other he passed over his eyes. Slowly turning his head, he took in the sea of faces before him. Then the silence, which had gripped the court room, was broken by his unsteady voice, which gained in strength and volume as he spoke. Eight years ago I loved all that was wrong. I scorned truth and righteousness; I loved the vulgar, the false. I lived, and enjoyed living, with the evil. This is not my first time in prison. Thank God, it is the last. I was a criminal and was proved to be such. That rainy night in December is like a nightmare to me. I can see the flickering candles, the dirty cards, and the evil faces of my companions. We had gathered for the usual game at the ' Sawdust Trail. ' On the last two games I had lost heavily, and I knew that the night ' s luck would decide my fate. I lost, and to Hank Hawkins, too — the most exacting, hard member of our set. He gave me until the following night to square off the debt. I was desperate. No lodging, no food, no money. You can ' t appreciate my position — you who have never lacked a roof o ' er your head, clothes for jour back, or food for a starv- ing body. Sick with my thoughts, I stumbled from the smoky room. Eleven o ' clock found me still walking the streets. Suddenly my attention was attracted by the sparkle of jewels in a window close by. I paused, noting that one ring was worth one hundred dollars. Was there a chance? I had never resorted to theft before, but, crazed by my position, I was willing to try anything. The idea seemed absurd, especially since a blue-coat lounged on the corner a short distance away. I was turning aside with a heavy heart, when the fire alarm sent its piercing scream into the night. A red glow tinged the sky far to my right. People, shouting, ran past me. Soon the streets were deserted. Even the cop had disappeared from his post. Now was my chance. It looked so easy. The breaking of the glass sounded like the breaking of many trees during a storm. It took only a second to secure the ring. Turning, I faced a pistol in the unwavering hand of the returned cop. I had lost for the second time that night — this time my freedom. I might have known I should fail. Always, chains have held me down — the chains of circumstance. I heard my sentence with a pang. It was my mother who took it hardest. It was a long time to her. It was longer to me. I served my time. After casting off my shackles, I could so easily have headed for the old road to gambling and drink ; but Mother — thank God she is not here now ! — had made me ashamed of myself. Her tears moved me, and I resolved to reform. I did. This is the outcome. These last words were scarcely audible to the tense listeners. At their conclusion the sentenced man, swaying slightly, fell in a heap at the judge ' s feet. II. Six weeks had not improved the appearance of John Thorne. Through the bars of his cell a single ray of sunlight found its way. It outlined his haggard countenance as he sat there with his hands over his face and his shoulders bent in sorrow. It was only when a key grated in the lock and the cell door swung back on its hinges that he raised his eyes. As two wardens entered, a passionate flood of words rolled from his lips, while tears streamed down his cheeks. It has come, he said. All through my life I have been blind. My sins are all a result of this failure to see the progress of things correctly. Three years ago I walked out of prison a changed man. I found a job and started an entirely new life. It was in a factory that I met Molly. Only God knows the happiness I felt when my Molly smiled. I saw her, day in and day out, dear, lovely Molly. How jealous I was of her looks, her smiles, her companionship. They were mine. Ah — Jealousy — grant that it may not grip another. It is a curse which is boundless. And then — while my life was most pleasant and sweet, God took my patient mother. I am ashamed to say that Molly ' s smiles and caresses made me forget what an angel I had lost. Still I had my Molly. She and I kept company for two years, and then I counted the days until she would be my wife. What if someone would take her from me — someone who had more to offer than I had. I tried so hard to be thoughtful and kind as she was. Molly was always better than I. And how pretty she was! Golden hair, rosy cheeks, and dark eyes, so steady and true. She was good, too, and faithful and kind. It was only two months before the day set for our marriage, when one evening I called on Molly by surprise. She did not expect me. I brought some violets, her favorite flowers. Entering the kitchen quietly, I looked around for her. Through an open door I saw her, standing in another man ' s arms. I said nothing In the next instant she lay stretched on the floor as calm and beautiful as when alive. But too late I realized that two bullets from my gun could not change her, or give her back to me. Here I am. And here is where I should be. But was I blind? Oh, forgive me, Father, clown that I am! — Man I am not. Tf I only had Molly today, and she had her brother! But it ' s too late now. I am ready, gentlemen. Oh, Mother! — Molly — Forgive me! — Janet Biedler. Emotion Today I saw your face — Like a fallen, tortured angel ' s; Those lines of anger mixed with hurt Betrayed the mighty conflict Of your being; A smile — slipping — Creeping — across your mouth But made your face more like Mighty Lucifer ' s when he fell From Heaven. — Catherine Guthrie.

Gay maids in sporty green and white, two hundred strong, made themselves known to everyone on that happy March 8. And green tam-o-shanters, each deco- rated by a bold white S, could be seen bobbing anywhere on the campus throughout that day. And that wasn ' t all by any means ! For Harrison Hall would have made dear St. Patrick weep with joy, it was so effec- tively decorated with green hats on the lamp-globes and pipes and shamrocks everywhere. What is more, the sophomores con- ducted chapel that day in a most im- pressive manner, despite their little-girl attire, and the seniors wore their caps and gowns in honor of their little sis- ters. At dusk the little girls grew up into young ladies, donned lovely evening dresses, and attended a ' ormal dinner in Blue-Stone Dining Hall. As the climax to the whole glorious day, however, came the production that night in Walter Reed Hall of the origi- nal class stunt, What Does It Matter? What Does It Matter? showed the results of much planning and working and was extremely entertaining and amusing. The curtain opened upon a scene in mid-air. A chorus of beautiful moon- beam girls burst through a golden moon and welcomed the audience with a song. The play began with the meeting of the past and present generations and centered upon a contest between them to (Continued on page four) o Crescent Moon SENIOR DAY MID-WINTER DANCE The slim, crescent moon Pours its slender stream Of silver pennies Into my heart. — Alice Horslev Just look, Harrison Hall is all dressed up in purple and white ! What ' s that for? Senior Day, of course. But where are the Seniors? Not one was to be seen at breakfast. However, when the first class-bell rang, one saw, here and there, a tall, darkly-clad Senior wending her way to class. At chapel the Seniors sang their class songs and gave the memoirs of the three years before. After the chapel program all of the Seniors formed a stately column on either side of Harrison entrance and waited until all of the faculty and stu- dents had passed into the Dining Hall for lunch. The Seniors assembled, with their Big Sister, Miss Hoffman; the Honorary Member, Dr. Converse ; the Mascot, Billy Dinglcdine, and other faculty mem- bers, in the Tea Room at six o ' clock for a buffet supper. Everyone went away feeling happy. Again at eight o ' clock the robed Sen- iors went to Walter Reed to see The Enchanted Christmas Tree. Some of the once serious-minded, dignified Sen- iors had been transformed into rollick- ing young boys and girls filled with the Christmas spirit. Before the play was over, everyone in the audience had caught from them this delightfully con- tagious feeling. H. T. C. CIRCUS The Glee Club makes a yearly tour, we send members to interstate debating contests, and our basketball team plays games at other schools. Why not ad- vertise our college by having our circus go from town to town? We don ' t be- lieve that even Barnum, Bailey, and Ringling Brothers have anything that could surpass, or even equal, the marvel- ous feats that can be performed by our well-trained actors. If you don ' t believe this, we invite you to see for yourself that we have at our college the following prodigies : 2 Basses that can speak before large audiences. A Bird that can play tennis. (Continued on page nine) On February 23, the Annual Dance, sponsored by the Blue-Stone Cotillion Club, was held in the gym of Walter Reed Hall. Always a much-anticipated event, this year ' s affair proved to be the most tremendous success of all the dances ever held here. The modernistic scheme of decoration made the gym a brilliant, yet harmon- ious, background for the many gay- hued evening dresses. Every angle of the gym reflected the scheme of gay and startling brightness. On the stage was a huge fan of the modernistic colors, a repetition of the paper- formed drop ceiling. Each win- dow w : as disguised behind an attractive design. A great asset to our 1928-29 dance was the orchestra, Jack Schill ' s West Virginians, decidedly the best ever had here for the dance. Their music was in tune to the last step with the spirit of the evening. At the opening of the dance, to the strains of Sweethearts on Parade, Harriet Pearson, the president, with Douglas Sale, led the dancers to wea e the intricate pattern of H in the center of the gym. After the figure the evening broke into a sway of color, gaiety, and popular strains. During intermission the dancers were entertained with an attractive peppy dance by the fourteen new members of the Cotillion Club. In their unusual costumes the modernistic idea again pre- vailed. The annual dance is always a feature that remains to be lived over many times. Surely the dance of 192S-29 will furnish (Continued on page three) o ■ A Tree Stretching out and up Into a realm of beauty — Beauty of sunset skies — The loveliness of ship-like clouds — The glory of warm moonlight — Beauty of day — Beauty of night — A tree — a thing of God. — M. Irene Garrison Page 2 THE BREEZE THE BREEZE ( Annual Supplement ) Edited by THE SCHOOLMA ' AM STAFF Editorial To all those who examine the pages of our 1929 Schoolma ' am there must come this thought, How times have changed since the first Schoolma ' am was published ! The idea carried out this year emphasizes the many changes and developments which have taken place during the life of The School- ma ' am. We believe that upon every page there can be read most clearly and un- mistakably the word PROGRESS. Those Alumna who visit Alma Mater this Commencement will be still more impressed by the wonderful growth of our cherished institution. The student body has enlarged tremendously, entire new buildings have been erected in the last few years, and attractive flowers and shrubs now adorn many places for- merly occupied by masses of rock. Then there is the swimming pool, the golf course and, what is destined to be one of the loveliest of all spots on our camp- us, the new Practice House. But in spite of these many additions and improvements, every girl always feels at home, no matter how long she may have been away. And why? Be- cause those things which stand out vivid- ly in her memory of school days have not changed. Spring still wears her richest apparel when she visit s Harri- sonburg, the old apple trees still array themselves in delicate pink and green, the ivy continues to cover with dark- green the strong blue-stone walls. Spring still brings her sunny days and showers of golden dandelions, as well as her silver rain, and God still crowns each fair day with a glorious sunset. Besides all these, there are the familiar faces of those earnest teachers who have been here for so long and helped many a struggling girl on her way to success. Has everything been mentioned? No, that which stands above everything else which endears Blue-Stone Hill to the heart of all her daughters remains the same— the Spirit of H. T. C. — S. B. L. Didj a Ever? 1 .

Trott JUNIOR DAY Class days may come, and class days may go, but in the memory of the Class of ' 30 this year ' s Junior Day will live on forever. And not only will it live on in the memories of the juniors, but every freshman, sophomore, and senior, too, who had the privilege of being on the campus that glorious April 6, 1929, at 6:30 o ' clock in the morning, will re- member that day. Old Sol had scarcely cleared the top of Massanutten Peak that morning when his rays fell upon one of the strangest sights he had ever beheld at H. T. C. In fact, so unusual was the treat under his giant eye that he hurried heavenward in eager curiosity so he could command a better view of the spectacle. And what Old Sol saw so delighted, amused, and intrigued him that he found it impossible to keep from watching it. What were those dazzlingly golden ob- jects beneath his view? Were they minia- ture, up-start suns trying to rival him for brilliance? And what was that unearth- ly, shrieking noise he heard? Surely his wave-lengths were getting tangled ! Slightly perturbed, Old Sol adjusted his monocle, and this is what he saw : Three-fourths of a hundred of white- clad juniors, wearing golden bell-hop caps, carrying golden swagger sticks, riding three brilliant red fire-trucks, and making the sirens emit shrieks that would awake the dead — to say nothing of sleepy freshmen, sophomores, seniors, and faculty members! Is it any wonder that Sol perked up then, murmured What will those Harrisonburg juniors be doing on earth next? and grinned from ear to ear all day long? So April 6, 1929, goes down in the Campus His- tory as one of the brightest days even the oldest senior can remember. But that wasn ' t half of it. The jun- iors certainly reigned supreme that day ! The songs they sang were the peppiest, the steps they tripped were the lightest, the smiles they smiled were the brightest, and the dresses they wore at the banquet that evening were the prettiest that Old Sol could see anywhere in the land. In- deed, everything was so attractive, every- thing spoke so forcefully of the Daisy Class, from the decorated buildings to the cheering freshmen, that even the dandelions, forsythia, jonquils, and daf- fodils vied with one another in display- ing the junior colors — gold and white!

At eight o ' clock the curtain in Walter Reed Hall rang up to entertain an en- tranced audience with the hit of the sea- son, the junior musical comedy, Up in the Air. For an hour and a half sen- iors, sophomores, freshmen, faculty, and townspeople were taken Up in the Air with the juniors and held there by breath-taking fun, catchy music, and graceful dancing. After a little party in the Alumna: re- ception hall for the pilots of L ' p in the Air, the juniors went home in the moonlight, weary but happy. Page 4 THE BREEZE a i ft FRESHMAN DAY EVOLUTION The Old Gray Mare Ain ' t 11 hat She Used to be Many Long Years Ago. Since :hc opening of this college the students have seen the faithful old Sor- rel, Grace, pulling around the campus our college wagon, with the words State Teachers College, Harrisonburg, Va., displayed upon it. Her duties have been widely varied from day to day, and she could most likely recall many inter- esting experiences from her frequent travels about the grounds. Sometimes, for instance, the all-important mail has been delayed for several hours because -iolent March windstorms made trans- portation by means of the horse and wagon impractical. To Grace, it might appear that her services have not been appreciated, be- cause of the recent addition of a speedy new truck to the campus equipment. But not so, for her services have been so greatly appreciated that the suitable re- ward was the much needed and swifter method of transportation. The heaviest of the work has been lifted off the drooping shoulders of this faithful old animal. Remember, Grace, mechanical science has not yet been able to replace biolog- ical science by producing a mechanical horse with all your virtues and none of vour faults. Black Birds Black birds flying. Outlined against the -ky ; Black birds — Ghosts of bluebirds That are gone. — Catherine Guthrie Ship ahoy! And what a ship! Bright and vivid, it hoisted its billowing sails as the sun mounted to the heavens and shone down on a green campus sea. Steady, unfaltering, it sailed a long with the current of happiness and fun. Man- ned with a crew of co-operating sailors, it withstood every flurry ' of wind, every threatening cloud. Even the thunder shower caused by the refusal of prank playing upperclassmen to buy tickets to go on board the good ship Alma was not a sufficient downpour to drown the spirit of the skipper rats. Of course the Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores really did jump over the ship ' s rails at the last minute. It was lots o ' fun all ' round. And it was a splendid show they had on deck that night in spite of mice and rats and grasshoppers galore. When the moon rose in a star dotted sky, and the ship ' s brave outlines w r ere mingled with the deepening darkness, the spirit of H. T. C. waved a hand — not of farewell, but of benediction — and we who watched from the shore saw writ- ten in the brightest star the word Suc- cess. rreen Trees The old man had told them : Deep in yonder There is a spot where are many Green trees, Even when winter ravishes earth With hectic passion.

(She was delirious with pain.) They never found them.

The entire Senior Class, dressed in caps and gowns, assembled at Harrison Hall. From there the procession, led by Anne Bulloch and Mr. Duke, followed by Catherine Guth- rie and Dr. Gifford, and the Senior Class, marched to the spot where the tree was to be planted, on the front campus, near Main Street. The Seniors grouped themselves in a circle around the tree. Dr. Wayland offered a prayer very appropriate to the occasion. Anne Bulloch gave a talk and then untied the purple and white ribbon from the roots of the tree, and lowered it into the ground. The earth was re- placed by Anne Ragan, Anne Proctor, Rebecca Jennings, and Gladys Hawkins. As a fitting climax Catherine Guthrie read the following poem, which she had composed for the occasion. Sturdy, perennial life be yours, For as our monument you stand ; A testament of ideals high, A symbol planted by our hand, You stand for life upright and firm; You stand for growth, for strength, for hope; May you live true to these, our aims, May our lives be within their scope. After a very impressive prayer by Dr. Gifford, the procession wended its way across the campus to the strains of Blue-Stone Hill sung in concert, to Johnston Hall. At the foot of the pillars of the arcade connecting Johnston and Sheldon two rosebushes were planted. Mr. Duke ' s talk delivered at this time added greatly to the impressiveness and dignity of the occasion. He compared the Senior Class to the tree which was planted. He spoke of the friendliness of trees, their endurance and long life. Even so may it be with the friendly spirit and love which the Seniors hold for the Alma Mater! Catherine Guthrie read another origi- nal poem : Climb, lovely rose, and let Your traits be symbols for us all. Three qualities are yours ; Tenacity of purpose, that withstands The hardest gale, the fiercest rain; High goals that keep your aims Outstretched and climbing starward. Beauty that blossoms forth profusely For all to see and love. So grow and thrive in storm and sun That those who see and understand Turn silently and shape their lives From these three gifts of yours : Strength, uprightness, loveliness.

SEXTET UNDEFEATED The 1929 Harrisonburg team began its undefeated record by winning from Bridgewater College at Bridgewater, January 15, with a score of 54-14 and ended by defeating Fredericksburg State Teachers College at Harrisonburg, on March 9, with a score of 90-6. A char- acteristic of eight out of the nine games played was the doubling of the score on the part of the Harrisonburg team. Their score doubled that of the opposing team in two games, trebled it in four games, rolled up a score six times that of their opponents in one, and finally accomplish- ed the unheard-of feat of making a score fifteen times that of their opponents. The total score of the nine games for the Harrisonburg team was 433 points as against the total of 113 for the op- ponents. The pluck and persistence with which the various teams battled against the su- perior team work, the swift accurate passing, the consistently skilful goal- shooting, the strong intelligent guarding of the Harrisonburg team made the games interesting in spite of the one- sided scores. The Radford-Harrison- burg games were especially interesting in that their winnings and losings have tallied in previous years. The game with the Savage School of Physical Education of New York City, played at Harrisonburg, was the closest game played, being fast and hard-fought to the end. These victories within the State of Virginia give the Harrisonburg girls a strong claim to the State Cham- pionship, and the defeat of the skilled Savage School team, who had lost only two out of 57 previous games, gives them a claim to the national honor. The champions, having had careful, skilled coaching and training, were con- spicuous for their clean, spirited playing. In nine games only twice was a Harri- sonburg girl disqualified by fouling.

Regardless of the gloomy weather, the Glee Club left on April the 1st in high spirits and reached Fredericksburg, still ready to sing. In spite of the rain, the girls were up at six o ' clock the next morning, ready fur their practice. They did not come out first in the contest, but they surely did ole Harrisonburg proud. Janet, their able president, purchased a tin cup and ribbon, which was a great inspiration for the rest of the trip. On Thursday night there was a joint program in the college auditorium given by all the clubs present. At eight o ' clock Friday morning every - i ine was up and ready to start for Rich- mond. They piled out at the Richmond Hotel at ten-thirty, eager to see the city. Following a late afternoon practice, the girls were escorted to the University of Richmond dining hall for dinner. After dinner they hurried back to the hotel to dress for the concert. In spite of the fact that there was a great deal of ex- citement over the loss of two hat-boxes, the girls were ready for the joint con- cert held in the John Marshall Audi- torium at eight-fifteen, the scheduled time. Following this program, the mem- bers of the club were the guests of the Colonial for the last show, and were invited to broadcast from that station. W. R. V. A. Even-thing went over in a manner worthy of H. T. C. The club left Richmond Saturday at one-fifteen and reached Charlottesville at four-thirty, tired but happy. The joint program with the University of Virginia Glee Club, held in Cabell Hall, was a delightful success. Following the concert, the girls were given a dance in Madison Hall. Everyone had an un- usually good time. Sunday morning they enjoyed a sight- seeing trip on the lovely University campus, after which they left for Blue Ridge Terrace. Here they had a sump- tuous dinner, which had been formerly arranged for. At four-thirty the girls arrived on H. T. C. Campus, safe and sound. Throughout the entire trip Miss Shaeffer was a great inspiration to the club. She was always there, full of pep and enthusiasm. The girls are grateful to her for the delightful trips and her untiring efforts in directing the Glee Club. TWO DAYS AS SEEN FROM A DLvRY March 1, 1929: Hard study l ast night, but no test today! Did Dr. Huffman experience a change of heart, or why the reading of a story instead of a test? A sneaking fear creeps in — probably he ixpccts to hold us responsible for the literary details of that story. The Face- in the Window, by Bill Pelly. I think not. He will continue the story Monday for our enjoyment, and post- pone the test for another period. An hour and thirty minutes of the af- ternoon was spent at the most alluring spot of the campus. Such a few know of its charms. There the girls play Ring Around The Rosy, The Battle Of The Knights, Follow The Leader and other such games. They also in- dulge in competitive races and stunts, but this afternoon we amused ourselves by just leaping into the pool Frog fashion. Although Janie played her part well, it was the opinion of the majority that her ancestors were owls instead of frogs. March 2, 1929 — Rising at seven, I be- gan a strenuous day. The snow fell fast and heavy — more like rain. Soon the fluffy many-shaped flakes were falling thick and fast. They were of various sizes, ranging from the smallest speck to nearly the size of a half-dollar. Win- ter had never revealed herself in such a charming manner. The dingy earth was seen clothed in a downy white robe. Who could doubt God ' s being on his throne? References and tests, both oral and written, looming before my mind, direct- ed me through the snow to the library with notebook, pencil, crayons, and map. That map was completed. T learned that the Mexicans are our neighbors. Dr. Gifford announced the arrival of Mr. Eason, the secretary of the State Board of Education, who would lecture at eleven o ' clock to the class pursuing the course in Public Instruction in Vir- ginia. The sidewalks and signs guided my feet to Reed Hall. There Mr. Eason gave an interesting and educational talk. His views were optimistic. They were hopeful of much greater educational progress in Virginia ; and he praised the State Board of Education for its achieve- ments, especially Teacher Training and Certification in the state. He said : There are many things which could be (Continued on page nine) THE BREEZE Page 9 Two Days as Seen From a Diary (Continued from page eight) accomplished with financial aid, but edu- cation must await the awakening of the people ' s attitude toward financing educa- tion, which is coming rapidly. Educators must not become antagonistic, and within a short period the legislators of the peo- ple will give their hearty support. Let the educators become antagonistic, and the whole educational future will be up- set. Lunch was over at one-thirty. I was exhausted beyond expression from in- tensive library study, Saturday morning classes, and five days of previous strain. The thrilling recreations and romantic opportunities which are offered by the surrounding atmosphere — where disci- pline, equality, and fraternity are the watchwords — were joyously pursued the remainder of the day and evening. Real- ly, one cannot imagine how alluring the lights of Harrisonburg were to the col- lege girl when it was impossible to go. Having been instructed as well as in- vited to attend the program given at the New High School by the leaders of the 4-H Club, I spent two most enjoyable and profitable hours. They gave a rec- reational program suitable for commu- nity work. Every one present participated in each game, bringing the boys and girls, old and young, together in better understanding. If such games should be indulged at social gatherings, club meet- ings, and dinner parties, instead of the demoralizing kissing games, such as took place under my observation a few nights ago at a social for young folks, there would be a more congenial rela- tionship between the young people of today. At eight o ' clock the Hampton Quar- tette entertained us with folk songs and spirituals. The negro has surpassed us in the musical world, for their folk songs represent the only American contribu- tion to music. Such harmony is not pro- duced by any other race of people. The Alricans have worked out a seventeen tone octave. How unforgettable is .Tuba this, and Juba that, Tuba killed a yellow cat To make his wife a Sunday hat. — Mrs. E. P. Hooley What Have You? Goodness, gracious ! Here ' s news for fair ! One windy March day — the twenty-ninth, to be exact, when the sun was shining hot and everyone was com- ing across campus from luncheon, there was a great under-current of gossiping voices. In a car parked behind Sheldon, three handsome young men were waiting to carry off one of our members! Everyone peeked, of course; and sure enough, there they were, three bare- headed young men. It was a touring car, and the top was down ; so we didn ' t miss anything. The gentlemen were gal- lant. They bowed like cavaliers and ushered the lady into the front seat. Could it be possible that one lady was to drive off like that with three young men? Nothing like that had ever hap- pened at H. T. C. What would she tell the administrative council? She had not thought of that, surely. But hush ! She is waving her adieus.- Listen to what the girls are saying, Oh! goodbye, Mrs. Milnes. Have the nicest trip ever !

Every piece of it is so quietly adorned with various shapes and sizes of seals and stickers that tell the world their owners are ultra-collegiate. The colors of these popular tributes to the little god advertisement are as harmonious as their shapes are symmet- rical. They really remind one of a bat- tle field. Shy, bold, soothing, and an- tagonistic, each has struggles for pre- dominance. The result is an optical nightmare. An impoverished imagination might be nourished by the illustrations on the stickers. The skull, representing a med- ical college, grins delightedly as the gentleman cow from Georgia Tech gores to death the dignified generals from Washington and Lee. .Sir semper to yellow jackets will be a very appro- priate motto for a University of Vir- ginia sticker when the Randolph-Macon jacket stings our proud crusher of the tyrant. College catalogues will soon be things of the past. A hat-box or week-end case is a much more effective medium of advertisement. — Catherine Howell THE APPRECIATION Before closing the pages of our book, we fain would cast a vote of thanks to a friend who has been indispensable in the making of this Annual. All of us remember him as he looked when we entered the staff room to begin our year ' s work. There he sat at his own particular place in the room, looking so well and plump and happy, that he was an inspiration to us all. However, it is quite certain that no one realized at the time just how necessary he would be or how the ho urs of work would tell on him. It is with sad hearts indeed that we look upon our friend as the Annual leaves for the press. Hardly any member of the staff would recognize him as the healthy looking one whom we met last fall. In fact we very much fear that too much work and the loss of sleep have caused such a breaking down of bodily tissues that our friend will never again be the same. So it is with deepest regret for the harm wrought that we pay our respects and express our un- dying gratitude to OUR ERASER ! Page 10 THE BREEZE Camera! Action! Although the calendar showed that the month was April, instead of drenching the earth wtih traditional showers, the elements were whipping it with power- ful wind. The girls resembled sibyls, with hair askew and wild. Doors slam- med, shades flapped, windows rattled in classrooms. The class in English for High Schools assembled at the regular hour and settled down to work. The professor entered. He gave one glance at the door, which was trembling just before it started to slam shut. With a mighty effort he did a Steve Brodie and grabbed the knob. Did the door pause on its very hinges? Was a terrible noise prevented ? Alas ! The answer is No. And the class, although it suffered in- jured ear-drums after the awful slam reverberated through the room, will never forget the picture of a well-known instructor snatching a ride on the door of room 9, Reed Hall. To My Friends God has given me you, my friends, To love, to trust, and to live for. Each day I thank Him for this gift- Each day 1 love you more — Each day I trust you more — And each day I think that life Is more worth living, Because you are my friends. — M. I. G. THE POET ' S CORNER Faith The sparrow small It; search of daily food; The thirsty lily Holding forth her snowy cup To catch the falling rain ; Man, humbly bowed, Awaiting Heaven ' s aid. — Garnet L. Hamrick Walker Lee Died on May 17. Walker Lee, faithful janitor of Maury Hall. For a score of years Walker gave to this college his skillful hand, his clear head, and — greatest of all — his loyal heart. He was a part, an important and appreciat- ed part, of the institution and of his community, and he is mourned by both black and white. He was true in all his relationships, because he was true as a I lnistian. Old girls coming back will miss his greeting. My Prayer My Father, help my life to be A symbol of sincerity ; A torch that lights throughout the world Its tiny path of love unfurled. I pray, my Father, that you give To me my torch that I may live : I pray that I may live life through To play my tiny role anew ; That I may feel the touch of friends, While we shall strive to gain our ends; That we shall march courageously, That bravely strong our lives shall be! — P. Palmer Some Dav Some day — Maybe early, Maybe late — I ' ll walk across The universal plain Into the West. The sunset ' s glow Will seem a purer gold, The rose more blushing, And the purple hold A deeper hue, More royal. Some day — Near or far — When afternoon is done, I ' ll hail the twilight As I pass, And walk into The flaming heart Of setting sun. — Garnet L. Hamrick Pan Calls Todav Pan calls today. I must away To low, green hills Where daffodils Dance in the breeze And gaily ease My heart of care. They know that there No mortal thing Can breathe of spring And still be sad. My feet are glad — I must away. Pan calls today. A. Horsley Advertisements LOST — Two biscuits between Harrison Hall and Sheldon. FOl ' ND — A pint of milk outside of Ashby.

Hamrick May Day Festival State Teachers College Harrisonburg, Virginia 4:15 P.M. MAY 4, 1929 SYNOPSIS Scene: Fain-land In the heart of the woods there is a tiny blacksmith ' s shop. Happiness has always lived there. Daylight shines on laughter, checkered moonlight on festivity, but wait — sadness seems to have intruded. The brownies are serious, they medi- tate. The reason, itself, is serious. These little seconds of manhood have the greatest task of their tiny lives. They must, before sunset, fashion a gorgeous crown for their Queen. Upon their meditation intrudes a wandering Poet. They beseech him to help them and he sends them to King Neptune to borrow his crown. The brownies copy the huge crown, making a tiny dainty one for their Queen. They use the jewels from the flower kingdom and then quickly prepare for the coming of the Queen. The courtiers and pages approach, the court ballet arrives, the kingdom ' s fairies come, and then — ALL HAIL AND GLORY to the Queen and her court ! Spectacular — colorful ! Gaiety — Abandon ! All the flower kindom pays tribute to her majesty. They dance their praise ! The sun is setting, the Queen is crowned — and lo ! from the depths of the forest comes the poet — a prince, to seek the lovely hand of the Queen. Her Majesty accepts and May Day ends as the heart desires ! CAST Poet Kathleen Snapf Father Brownie Elizabeth Knight Brownies E. Nunnally, N. Henderson, F. Bell, E. Townsend, J. Cundiff, K.
